RCMP search Yukon government office, again
CBC
Police in Whitehorse conducted another search on Friday at the territory's Department of Economic Development.
RCMP confirmed in an email to CBC News that they "executed a search warrant for information held" at the department, but provided no other details.
"As this investigation is ongoing, no further details about the investigation will be provided at this time."
A Yukon cabinet spokesperson also confirmed the search happened, and also provided no further information.
The search on Friday follows another that happened in June at the same government department, though police would not confirm whether they're connected to the same investigation.
Speaking to reporters last month Premier Ranj Pillai — who's also the territory's economic development minister — said that he believed the investigation and search last June were related to the Yukon Nominee Program.
"My earlier sense of this was that it did not have to do with operational activities, but potentially clients of the department," Pillai said.
Also last month, Canada's auditor general put its audit of the Yukon's nominee programs on hold, citing the ongoing RCMP investigation involving the department that oversees those programs.
